A cellular implantation system using an injectable ultra-purified alginate gel for repair of osteochondral defects in a rabbit model.
TL;DR: A novel cellular implantation system using an in situ forming ultra-purified alginate gel with quite low endotoxity shows the clinical potential for arthroscopically injectable implantation of BMSCs for the treatment of cartilaginous lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of alginate composition and purity on alginate microspheres.
TL;DR: High purified high-mannuronic acid alginate will provide smaller, spherical microcapsules suitable for islet cell transplantation, and less polymorphism was found with the HPLVM microspheres than with the ILVM microbeads.

Chondrocyte calcium signaling in response to fluid flow is regulated by matrix adhesion in 3-D alginate scaffolds
TL;DR: A role for matrix adhesion in regulating chondrocyte response to fluid flow through a calcium dependent mechanism is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viability and functionality of cells delivered from peptide conjugated scaffolds.
TL;DR: Alginate-OEC interactions do not adversely affect these cells, validating control of cellular migration as a means to control the cell delivery profile from the material system, and supporting usage of the alginate scaffold as an efficient cell delivery vehicle are suggested.
